43 Nile Grove, Morningside, Edinburgh

43 Nile Grove is a terrace of seven two-storey and attic houses with two bays each, built in 1884 by Wardrop Anderson & Browne in Morningside, Edinburgh. The terrace demonstrates Queen Anne detailing. The houses are arranged symmetrically, with prominent gabled end and central houses. The fronts are constructed from cream sandstone, using squared and snecked rubble with ashlar dressings, while the rear and side elevations employ rubble facing and stugged ashlar dressings. Single-storey rear extensions constructed of brick, topped with mansard roofs, are present.

The front elevation features a gabled centre block with an entrance door to the left featuring an open scrolled swan-neck pediment, and two windows to the right. At first floor level, a tripartite square oriel with a balustraded parapet sits above, and a bipartite window with a semi-circular pediment punctuates the gablehead. Two houses flank the centre block, mirroring the entrance details under a dentil cornice, with a single window in the centre bay at the first floor. The outer bays incorporate canted windows at ground floor, topped with a balustraded parapet, and a bipartite window above. The end houses also feature two single windows to the ground floor, canted oriels with balustraded parapets at the first floor, and a bipartite window with a semi-circular pediment within the gablehead.

The rear elevation showcases gabled bays located centrally and at the outer ends, complemented by single-storey brick projections with catslide roofs. The east and west elevations reveal an entrance door centrally, paired with a bipartite window to the right and a single window above. One east elevation has a bipartite timber dormer with a semi-circular pediment.

The windows are timber sash and case, with 8 or 6-pane upper sashes and 2-pane lower sashes. A slate roof is topped with red ridge tiles and corniced apex stacks towards the rear or end gables, alongside mutual corniced stacks and tall, tapering cans. The skews are coped and feature scalloped gable ends. Moulded eaves gutters are punctuated by decorative cast-iron gutterheads and brackets. The interior was not inspected in 1992.

A tall rubble boundary wall with semi-circular coping runs along the rear and sides of the property, accompanied by gatepiers also with semi-circular coping, a low rubble wall to the front with saddleback coping, and cast-iron gates.
